Anthropic and OpenAI IPO Rumors Spark Investor Interest in AI Financials
Anthropic, the developer behind Claude chatbot, is reportedly preparing for an initial public offering as early as next year. The Financial Times suggests the startup could reach a $300 billion valuation, while rival OpenAI's rumored $1 trillion IPO looms. Both companies deny concrete plans, but market anticipation grows.
These potential listings would provide unprecedented transparency into AI language-model economics. Investor appetite for pure-play AI stocks remains untested amid concerns over inflated tech valuations. The IPOs could redefine benchmarks beyond current market leaders like Nvidia and Microsoft.
Elon Musk's xAI joins the fundraising race, with Grok chatbot developer reportedly closing a $15 billion round. The AI Gold rush continues as private valuations approach stratospheric levels, leaving public investors eager for financial disclosures.
